WATCH

Shooting star

Khoj International Artists’ Association is screening the film The Three Disappearances of Soad Hosni, a film by Rania Stephan that won the Sharjah Biennial Prize in 2011. The film is an attempt to tell the story of Soad Hosni, one of Egypt’s famous film stars who starred in 82 films between 1959-91. According to Stefan, “The entire film is made from images and sound taken from Hosni’s films. It is built like a tragedy in three acts that ends in death. The film operates like a kind of pre-vision on the tragic destiny of this actress”. It’s also a celebration of popular Egyptian cinema, historically sidelined by both Arab critics and the West.

11 am - 7 pm, August 3 to 18, Khoj Studios, S-17, Khirkee Extension.
